   Reverting to a mile after finishing sixth in the 12-furlong G1 Yorkshire Oaks Aug. 23, John Dance’s Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) did the unthinkable and turned back Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) to land Saturday’s G1 Coolmore Fastnet Rock Matron S. at Leopardstown. Sent off an inflated 10-1, the June 17 G1 Prix de Diane heroine set out her stall in front under Danny Tudhope and really knuckled down as the Niarchos sensation came to her inside the final furlong. Digging gamely as the 3-10 favourite lugged left under pressure, the British raider carved out a 3/4-of-a-length success, with Clemmie (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) 1 1/4 lengths away in third.
